REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.
Noble Young read report of the
Committee on Military, as follows:
Hon. s. G. Wilder, President of the Legis-
lature-Sir: The Committee on Military to
whom was referred the petition presented by
Rep. Kalaukoa, and signed by 80 persons
praying that no more rifle practice be per-
mitted at Paawa range, beg leave to report
as follows:
Having had said petition under considera-
ton, and having visited the location of said
range, now used by the Hawaiian Rife Asso-
citation for practice, we are of tie opinion
that, under present conditions. II petition
ers have good grounds for apprehension of
danger and Just cause for complaint.
The Secretary of the Hawaiian Rife Assoc
citation informs US, in writing, that said
Assoc iation has lease of piece of land
running from the shooting butts clear
through to the sea, and that there is no road
or right of way public private, on it or
over it, and, further, that II is the intention
of the Association TO fence in said land on
both sides, so that no one may trespass
thereon.
Your committee consider that this will not
wholly remove the danger, for people are fire.
quently passing along the beach to and from
their dwellings, at the seaside, and during
the shooting, may ger into dangerous posi-
ton unobserved by those at the shooting
butts Besides, fishing canoes are often on
the water opposite said range and might
easily escape the notice of shooters eager in
match.
We are, however, of opinion that the
danger could be obyiated, and therefore rec
ommend that the proper authorities compel
the Hawaiian Rife Association while shoot
ing on said range, to keSp man stationed
near the beach on each side OF said range TO
see that no person, either the land or on
the water opposite the range, gets into
danger. Without such precautions We re-
gard shooting at said range dangerous aud
should be discontinued.
Respectfully submitted,
ALEX. YOU'VE,
A. S. WILCOX,
G. MOTLEY,
A. KAUHI.
The honorable Noble said that No
